So I'm in the market for a real nice camera. I've had experience with Canon 60D, 7D, T3, T4 etc.

Been looking at this though:

Can anyone tell me if they've had experience with this?

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-SLT-A77-Digi ... 6V6HEB8Q1T

I shoot Canon 5DMKIII's but I've used the Sony A77, and it's a beast of a camera. So if you don't already have lenses etc for another brand, go for it!

Might as well start watermarking.Anyway, this was taken with the canon 50mm 1.8 with a set of kenko extension tubes.Subject is about the size of your finger nail.

nice shot there man, and yes I have a friend who uses extension tubes on a kit lens. Not really a true macro per say, but a great introduction into the world of the tiny!



I found out over the weekend that Flickr has revamped their site, given everyone a free terabyte of space for all their HIGH/FULL resolution images to be displayed for FREE!! (*gasp!*).


So while digging in the archives tonight, I found a few gems I'd like to share that helped me along my journey as a phototakerouter (i.e. sheit I did while messing around and learning)






Rally Trinidad 2011






Manzanilla river mouth, colour vs black and white





England, West Midlands during April 2008 (taken with D40 and 18-55 kit lens)


... and the morning after it snowed.



Private Villa in Barbados


MEssing around in photoshop



backyard, aunt's house in California


Sunset over Verrazano Bridge, NY. The emptiness and tone of the pic reminded me of the mepty and lonely New York city in the Will Smith film, "I Am Legend"


Swan at the waterfront, south Brooklyn NYC (this one won a few awards and was published in a travel magazine)


Did an impromptu photoshoot with the wifey in Central Park, NYC. Inspired by an advertisement I had seen in Macy's the day before.


Penguins at the Dudley Zoo, West Midlands UK


Impromptu birthday shot for a friend, at West Midlands, UK (combination of split-toning and selective colouring done in CS4.)


Practicing with lighting, using Nikon AWLS/CLS to trigger the SB600 flashes, and home-made softbox/tube for key and rim lighting.


Saw an ad in a magazine, decided to try to replicate the advertisement.
Shot with two SB600, one to the background as filler and one directly above as a kicker/highlight. The shiny surface effect is done using a piece of plexiglass to make the tabletop nice and glamourous. No front-lighting, everything is backlight/shinethrough.


Strawberries on an upside down wineglass. Natural window light to the rear, and a single SB600 snooted to the left as a hard kicker to make a nice pinpoint highlight onto the strawberry's surface.. giving in a nice lil pop which was further accentuated in CS4 - bumped the contrast and killed the blacks to make the strawberry jump out at you and catch your eye


... and here's the converse to that shot, with emphasis on the backlighting (SB600 bounced off the kitchen white wall/tiles)



Nikon D40, 50mm f/1.8 prime, manual focused (the D40 doesn't have a manual screw drive to power the older AF-D 50mm lens, unlike the newer 50mm AF-S lens with a silent-wave motor which can work with D40/D3100/D5100)


Watching mih daddy cut/grind some galvanize


Mr Henry chillin' on the beach with his brand new hat


Pupsy wants some coffee!


German food festival at Birmingham Town Center, Birmingham UK
(Nikon D40 18-70mm af-s lens, Handheld/leaning against signpost)



and the creme de' la creme....


Parliament Houses & Westminster Abbey, 2009.
Nikon D40
Handheld shot, no tripod or monopod. Exposure time... 2.5 sec. Was leaning against the railing by the river Thames... put my hand on the railing and placed the camera on my hand.... held my breath and then squeezed the trigger while pressing the camera hard against my forehead. Took about 6 -7 tries to get it just right.

Thanks for your criticism. The thing is I did that as i wanted to appear as if it was taken at dusk , which it was by the way. Guess that was not conveyed . Have another of Chelsea Bridge.

VR14 graced you with his presence using TriniTuner mobile app

[Dragist]

^^^ Scully has now and then cant remember prices , what size you looking at ?

[Trini Hookah]

4GB or so should suffice until I get my adapters.

[Dragist]

I have seen them at Radio Shack but overpriced , oh and David's Filmview Stone St

[Trini Hookah]

^ Thanks Dragist, got a quote from Filmview

[Dragist]

*Anyone has experience with the light panels here vs. a flash????
::Which do you prefer and why???
::::Would you recommend the investment in a good l.e.d panel or just invest in a decent flash??

Application: Clubs, Nightlife on the streets **Edit** for pictures no filming

Are you looking at continuous lighting if so in a Club setting they are annoying and you loose the surprise/natural effect I use studio strobes and Flash units never used continuous lighting we have a few in the Studio and those get hot and Models hate them makeup runs and all of that fun stuff , but you are not looking for a studio kit .

[Aaron 2NR]

north coast

[Dragist]

Cool thing actually I have been looking at LCD Macro flashes that are not continuous , I had the bad opportunity to be on the receiving end of one of those panels at a club shooting a band and the guy in front of me shooting video turned around and nearly blinded me I never cursed so much and I know him .

[streaminhonda]

Finally got my extension tubes, and this was my first attempt...
What you guys think??? All thoughts are welcomed...

You mean those diffusers that are like 8"x5" ?
You can improvise one from fabric and PVC and shoot a speedlight through it. Shouldn't be too hard.
